Carey Sued: Brother Disputes Memoir Claims
20 Oct
Summary
- Brother claims Mariah falsely accused him of violence in memoir.
- Lawsuit cites alleged domestic incidents with father and mother.
- Morgan Carey seeks damages for defamation and emotional distress.
Mariah Carey is facing a lawsuit from her estranged brother, Morgan Carey, who disputes her portrayal of him in her 2020 memoir. Morgan alleges that the singer's book, "The Meaning of Mariah Carey," has damaged his reputation by depicting him as a violent individual.
In his legal filing, Morgan Carey specifically challenges passages describing alleged violent altercations. One account detailed a struggle involving him, his father, and twelve police officers. Another passage described an alleged incident where he pushed their mother forcefully against a wall, causing a cracking sound. Morgan asserts these events did not happen as described during his childhood.
Furthermore, Morgan claims Mariah contradicted herself within the memoir, citing a statement from their mother expressing affection for him. He argues that the book's descriptions of him are fabrications and seeks significant compensation for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, stemming from the alleged falsehoods in the book.
